Owlhouse's "diary" build took three years!
Owlhouse 历经三年打造的“日记”建筑！
Every now and again, a Minecraft build completely takes my breath away – and this one more than most, because it's entirely underwater! This project, which took over three years and is known as "Sea Diary", is a colourful coral reef full of beautiful, intricate little details, huge, eye-catching sculptures and gigantic fish. You know, the other day I built a little park next to my house in Minecraft, and I was feeling pretty proud. Now I feel a bit like I just made a popsicle stick house next to the Eiffel Tower!
眼前的这个 Minecraft 建筑让我一时间美而忘息 – 这绝对是一个出类拔萃的建筑，毕竟建筑整体完全位于水下！这个建筑项目，名叫“海洋日记（Sea Diary）”，是历时三年多才建造而成的，一个色彩斑斓的珊瑚礁上遍布出色且精致的各种细节，巨大且引人注目的雕塑以及体型巨大的鱼。你能懂吗，我前些天才在我 Minecraft 的房子旁新建了一个小公园，当时我感到非常自豪。但现在，我感觉自己就像在埃菲尔铁塔旁搭起了一个冰棍小屋的一样！
The reason it's called "Sea Diary" is because the builder, Junghan Kim (AKA Owlhouse) considers it a diary of his three years building it, and of all the emotions he felt at the time. You might have experienced a similar thing yourself, when you revisit old Minecraft builds and remember who you made them with, how you were feeling at the time, and sometimes even memories of the music you were listening to as you built.
之所以取名“海洋日记”，是因为建筑师 Junghan Kim（又名 Owlhouse）将这个项目视作他三年建造过程的日记，项目建造过程中，他倾注了自己当时的所有情绪。你或许也有过类似的经历，当你回顾起过去建造的 Minecraft 建筑时，你会回忆起当时一起建造建筑的伙伴、当时的感受，甚至能回忆起当时建造时所听到的音乐。
But Sea Diary didn't come easy. "I tried to change the theme and the story several times," Junghan says. "They ended up being changed based on my mood and feelings at that moment, which forced me to spend many hours editing the buildings and the terrain. At some point, I thought that all of the moments I spent building this map could be the story itself."
不过，“海洋记忆”的建造过程绝非易事。“我尝试修改过很多次建筑的主题和故事情节，”Junghan 说。“它们最终会根据我当时的心情和情感而变动，这也迫使我耗费了更多的时间去编辑建筑和地形。在某种程度上，我认为我在建造这个地图的每个时刻的情绪都可以单拎出来作为故事本身。”
But unlike a normal diary – you know, **s made of paper and filled with doodles and feelings – Sea Diary shows how Junghan was feeling with colour, movement, and detail. Also, unlike a normal diary, your parents can't find it and read all the embarrassing things you wrote. Sounds like a win-win to me.
但与普通的日记不同 – 我指的是，那些以纸为媒介，充斥着涂鸦和情感的日记 – 而“海洋日记”则是通过色彩、渐进变化和细节表达出 Jungham 的个人情感。另外，与普通的日记不同，你的父母可找不到它的存在，更无法阅读到你写在日记本上的尴尬内容。听起来是个双赢的局面。
"To be honest," Junghan says, "it was stressful to build sometimes." With 28 different kinds of fish, a bunch of machines, robots, probes, and tons of barnacles, sea life, and coral, there are a lot of details in the build that took a long time to get just right. Junghan says that the sheer number of details was the most ambitious part of the diary: "It can seem messy, but I think it's charming in its own way!"
“说实话，”Junghan 说，“建造过程中有时我会倍感压力。”这个项目需要建造出28种鱼、一堆机器、机器人、探测器以及大量藤壶、海洋生物和珊瑚，这都需要耗费很长时间进行打磨以达到最佳效果。Junghan 告诉我们，细节的繁多是日记中最具野心的部分：“它可能看起来有些凌乱，但我觉得这正是它的魅力所在！”
I actually took a walk (or a swim?) around Sea Diary myself, and I managed to get quite lost. I'd see something incredible, then move on to something else in the distance, and when I tried to retrace my steps, I'd be completely overwhelmed by the colour and the scale of the entire build. I saw tiny fish, with fins streaming out behind them; bubbles that glowed in the dark; Venetian palaces that melted into industrial complexes and then back again.
当我实际漫步（或者说，游弋？）于“海洋日记”时，被这里的景象深深折服了，不由得陶醉其中。我见识到了一些难以置信的东西，连绵不绝，我也紧跟着一步一趋，当我想要折返时，眼前整个建筑的色彩和规模让我震惊了。一路上，我看到了小鱼儿，它们身后的鳍尾在水中摆动；气泡在黑暗中发光；融入了工业综合体的威尼斯式故宫。
I can't even imagine what it must have been like to build something like this, and to keep coming back to it for so many years – but Junghan managed to keep motivated, he says, by learning to relax. "Don't focus on one subject," he says. "I tried to change the story of my work continuously. And I think these changes make it fun!"
我无法想象建造这样的东西，并且还是耗时多年来回建造 – 但是 Junghan 告诉我们他有努力地通过学会放松来保持自己的动力。“不要将注意力集中在一个题材上，”他说。“多年来，我不断尝试更改作品的故事情节。并且我坚信，这些更改可以让它变得更加有趣！”
Junghan's zen approach is the main lesson he took away from building Sea Diary, after almost ** of playing Minecraft. "Decisions can be changed easily," he says, "and sometimes, it leads to a better way."
Junghan 在游玩了近10年 Minecraft 后，从建造“海洋日记”的过程中领悟到的主要教训就是他的禅宗思想。“决策可以轻而易举地改变，”他说，“有时，这种改变也会引出更好的结果。”
But why make a diary of three years set entirely underwater? "The sea is really deep," Junghan muses, "and we never know what's happening down there. It's scary, but interesting." Plus, of course, it's really fun to build – there's a lot of variety in the ocean! "Colourful barnacles are my favourite details," he says. "Between the contrast of various colours and the darkness of the barnacles, it creates a mysterious feeling."
但是为什么要将耗费三年时间建造的日记完全置于水下呢？“海底真的很深，”Junghan 沉思道，“并且我们永远无法得知下面究竟发生了什么。这很可怕，但也很有趣。”加之，当然，建造地图的过程也很让人愉悦 – 海洋富有多样性！“色彩斑斓的藤壶是我最喜欢的细节，”他说。“在各种颜色的色差和藤壶的黑暗之间，它可以营造出一种神秘的感觉。”
With Junghan's ** in Minecraft, Sea Diary is far from his first build – and it certainly won't be his last, either. He's already working on a desert-themed world, and he made a gorgeous, glowing Halloween build too . But his favourite builds yet, other than Sea Diary, are Tears of Jungle – a luscious, Aztec-inspired temple in the heart of a jungle – and Dam Coast, an Atlantis-like city that houses a huge recreation of Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. That's quite the portfolio!
Junghan 已经游玩了十年 Minecraft 了，“海洋日记”远非他的第一个建筑作品 – 而且肯定也不会是最后一个。他已经投身于一个沙漠主题的世界中，并且还建造了一个璀璨又闪耀的万圣节建筑。但除了“海洋日记”，他最喜欢的作品是丛林之泪（Tear of Jungle） – 一个灵感来源于阿兹特克神庙，一个位于丛林深处的豪华神庙 – 以及大坝海岸（Dam Coast），一个亚特兰蒂斯风格的城市，里面还还原出了一个米开朗基罗的“创造亚当”的巨型雕塑。相当于一个作品集！
All I can really say is that I wish my diary was even a fraction as beautiful, complex, and downright cool as Sea Diary is.
我只能说，我真希望我的日记能够变得像“海洋日记”那样的美丽、复杂并且彻头彻尾的酷炫一点。
